Scotland meet Switzerland in a blockbuster League B1 showdown in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League.
Victory could put Scotland top of the group, whilst group leaders – Switzerland will move five points of the Tartan Army with a win.
Team News
Scotland have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 0-0 draw away to Slovenia last Saturday (26 September).
Switzerland too have no fresh injury concerns to report following their 3-0 away win against North Macedonia.
When is Kick-Off?
Scotland host Switzerland at Hampden Park on Tuesday 29 September at 7:45pm BST, live on BBC Scotland, BBC Two (England, Northern Ireland, Wales) and BBC iPlayer.
Stat Attack
- This is Scotland’s first Nations League meeting against Switzerland.
- Switzerland have won just one of their eight previous visits to Scotland in all competitions (W1, D2, L5).
- Scotland have failed to score in any of their last three matches across all competitions (D1, L2).
- Switzerland have kept clean sheets in three of their last four matches in all competitions (W2, D1, L1), during which they only failed to keep a clean sheet in a 3-1 loss to Argentina after extra time in their World Cup Quarter-Final.
Prediction
Wasteful finishing summed up Scotland’s draw against Slovenia but Sebastien Pocognoli will be pleased with the clean sheet, which is a nice small positive for his first game in charge although the team now needs to add a clinical final touch if they’re to beat a higher-level opponent.
Switzerland might not exactly be a top-tier team but they are undoubtedly dangerous floaters with their depth and quality, which was evident in their clinical win over North Macedonia but Scotland hasn’t exactly been a happy hunting ground for the Swiss over the decades.
This clash therefore will be a tough scrap if both teams bring their best game but I do fancy Switzerland to win this if not draw.
Prediction: Scotland 1-2 Switzerland
